Abstract

The potential of the non-Standard Model heavy Higgs bosons in 2HDM at a muon collider is studied. The pair production of the non-SM Higgs bosons via the universal gauge interactions is the dominant mechanism once above the kinematic threshold. On the other hand, single Higgs boson production associated with a pair of heavy fermions is also important in the parameter region with enhanced Yukawa couplings. Both ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ annihilation channels and Vector Boson Fusion processes are considered, as well as radiative return $s$-channel production. Different types of 2HDMs can also be distinguishable for moderate and large values of $\tan \beta$.
